            Description

            This behavior is not consistent with java serialization, java serialization only calls readResolve() on superclass if visibility of this method is public or protected.

            See: ObjectStreamClass.getInheritableMethod

            As a result of this serialized classes may be replaced by superclass instances on deserialization.

            Workaround: Implement readresolve() in all subclasses.
